Personally I'd rather flag such posts because HN is a place for news and meaningful discussions around those and IMHO there are better sites/services to monitor if whatever is up or down. Now, I'd really like to see a discussion with links to some post-mortems or analysis about the outage. That would be super interesting, but not just the service URL with a catchy title, please.
- kelseydh 11y agoI don't agree with flagging such posts. As developers we can be on the losing end of these problems within our own products, and this site can be a useful hub for receiving information on how to technically handle these incidents. E.g. after a major DNS outage caused many people with Heroku websites to go down, developers on Hacker News were able to quickly share advice on how to get around it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9842302 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9842302
- caio1982 11y agoI respectfully agree to disagree but thanks for the example about Heroku. That's a very fair point.
